Active Singing - Body Percussion Songs

Active Singing - Body Percussion Songs

(0)
This is a collection of 10 Body Percussion songs. All of these songs focus on different Body Percussion rhythms to accompany them. Every song is designed to reinforce pitch, pulse and rhythm (either consciously or unconsciously) and will help with a range of social skills (turn taking, working with a partner or group etc). The songs are all in an appropriate range for children. Most use a maximum of a 6-note range with some stretching to an octave. These songs are more demanding than the other Active singing songs because of the Body Percussion rhythms so are more suitable for KS2. These songs have also been designed to fit perfectly within the Kodaly methodology if teachers are using it (using common ta and ti-ti rhythms and incorporating familiar melody lines - so-mi / mi-so-la).

This is a collection of 10 songs to be sung with a scarf. Every song is designed to reinforce pitch, pulse and rhythm (either consciously or unconsciously) and will help with a range of social skills (turn taking, working with a partner or group etc). The songs are all in an appropriate range for children. Most use a maximum of a 6-note range with some stretching to an octave. All songs are in C Major but can easily be transposed to D. Each song comes with easy to follow instructions. They can be used with KS1 and KS2 and have all been tried and tested by the children I teach and have all been received well and enjoyed!

Ukulele chord poster.I use coloured dots with my Ukuleles (Red = C, Blue = F, Green = G). I’ve found it makes progress quicker and locating chords easier. They still develop their muscle memory and when they’re confident they can just remove them! I’ve created this Ukulele chord sheet if anyone is interested
